Wow! Are you saying ideas don't matter? If so, the rest of you points don;t really matter either, because they flow from an idea.

If Ayn Rand and her philosophy is so pure and true, why was her personal life so messed up? There seems to be a disconnect here.

Interesting Point It is like this. I could say I like to be healthy and not sick. I like to be free and not confined. I like to be safe and not fearful. The point is that these are ideas that relate to my personal experience. If I was to say I would like to be facist and not communist I am not really saying a whole lot about my well being or my personal experience. I could be in a capitalistic country and still be starving. Or I could be in a communist country and be well fed but have little freedom to choose my occupation. I belive we should express those values that are important to us as opposed to arguing over politcal terms.
